Pippen Hill wedding

I did this wedding last year in Charlottesville at Pippen Hill Winery. It was an incredible setting - and just a lovely day. The bride wanted a muted color story for the ceremony and then much brighter colors for the reception. We complied with a pale blue and apricot mix for the ceremony, then bright golds, fuschia, blue and yellows. We also (we meaning my husband and our great friend Blaise) made and installed a birch tree chuppah. It was engineered within an inch and luckily so - it was very windy. Thanks to Jack Looney for the lovely photos.
